[ backdated to after these shenanigans ]

[ ooookay, so that training session in the Danger Room? couldn't have gone any worse or, you know what? maybe it could have, but she doesn't really want to think about that right now. she already had to sit there and watch Laura heal after Julian pretty much sent her swan diving into the floor. even though

[Laura had forgotten about her promise to tell Cessily what was bothering her after being telekinetically slammed into the floor. Luckily, though, she's all healed up. Not so luckily, she has to talk about the whole awkward Julian thing. Which everyone has been bringing up lately.

Buuut she opens the door, not quite catching the playful tone in Cessily's voice.]

You do not drink.

[fightfurther]

[NOT SAYING ANYTHING. Imagine what kind of angsty, depressing thoughts are going through her head, Cess!]

[reshaper]

[ she reaches over, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to give her a hug ]

But I can't tell you to tell him, that has to be something you want to do. I can only tell you that it's okay to have those feelings about someone.

[fightfurther]

[Laura leans against her.]

Yes. But I do not know how to deal with them.

[reshaper]

[ hugging her so tight, then she rubs at her shoulder some ]

I know, I can't tell you how to deal with them either. But I can try to make them a bit more clear for you. No promises, though. Sometimes these things take time and it's never good to jump right into them, believe me.

When you figure out how to deal with them? You'll just know when the right time will be. I'll help however I can, okay? [ she leans back and smiles ]

[fightfurther]

Okay.

[Paaauuuse.]

How do I figure it out, then?

[reshaper]

Hmm..

Well, how about we start from the beginning? You know you like him, but when did you start liking him?

[fightfurther]

I... I am not sure. I believe... After we defeated Nimrod, and he saved me.

[reshaper]

He saved you, that's as good a reason as any.

[ smiling ] You've saved him, too, you know?

[fightfurther]

Yes, but...

[She just shrugs and looks away.]

[reshaper]

But? What is it?

[ oh man, usually it's fun having girl talk but she can't help but feel a little sympathetic for Laura. this really was knew for her and she's not doing much in the way of helping ]
